...is measured by academic performance. Over the years, the importance of students doing well in school has become the common concern of parent, legislators, teachers, counselors and psychologist. According to Bell (2002), parents devote a lot of resources to their children's education because they believe that good academic performance will provide a stable future for them. Also, Wilkins (2001) opined that many educational authorities have sought to find out reasons for the downward trend in the academic performance of secondary school students.
Uwaifo (2008) attributed the cause of poor academic performance of children to a combination of personal and institutional factors. The Personal factors include the level of individual's intelligence, knowledge and ability, while institutional factors are family or parental influence. Olayinka (2004) pointed out that the family is the bed rock of any society. Obayan (2003) reported that a stable and well developed childhood can be guaranteed by a stable family. The current bad economic status of the country has exposed children to undesirable challenges that have negatively affected their academic performance in school. This observation agrees with the report of Adeyinka (2009) that maladaptive behavior arise when parents lack responsibility of their parenthood and that children that were raised from economically disadvantaged background are more...

...Our generation has been raised in a technological advanced world and there has been definite controversy over many of these innovations that this new culture has brought. An innovation that has troubled the youth of America for many years is television. Although there is no certainty to eliminate this &#8220;plug-in drug,&#8221; there are many ways to control and monitor your television as a parent.
Children between two and eleven years of age watch an average of 25 hours of television a week.(Children&#8217;s Television) Which means that children spend more time watching television than in school. With that statistic it is no wonder why this is such a huge problem that this nation has to deal with.
There are many facts that show how children are effected by television. The most obvious is the effects that televisionhas on the brain. &#8220;Television interferes with the development of intelligence, thinking skill and imagination.&#8221;(LimiTv) A huge element of thinking is taking from what you already know and deciding how it applies in different situation. School makes you do this, but television does not. Michael and Sheila Cole, sociologist, say that &#8220;Children socialized to learn from television...

...detrimental effecttelevisionhas on our youth.
After a long, hard day of school and work, I walk up the stairs to my apartment. As I approach the door, I can already hear the television. I open the door and am not surprised to see my brother on the couch, hand on remote, flipping through channels. My brother could be crowned couch potato king. He watches television day and night so much that my cousins and I now refer to him as the Human TV Guide. He knows what's on at a specific time on a specific channel. He has the channels of different stations of different areas memorized. He could tell you what channel BET is in New York. He could tell you what channel VH1 is in California. He could tell you what channel MTV is in New Jersey. My sister has memorized practically everything there is to know about television, yet she has difficulty memorizing the multiplication table, and it’s all due to the effects of watching television endlessly. Televisionhas had a detrimental effect on many young minds.
Televisionhas dulled the mind of an average youth. Youth today are accustomed to having their information handed to them easily. Given that reading involves too much work, many of today’s...

...Entertainment Essay
Entertainmenthas provided society with an escape from reality, which at times may be very stressful and chaotic. The relaxation that entertainment provides is necessary for the overall well being of people. Peace and accord can be found through relaxation, and for many people this is achieved through entertainment. Some entertainment may be damaging to society because it is degrading, and lacks cultural enrichment. As a result, I qualify the assertion that entertainmenthas conquered reality. I agree in the sense that as the quality of entertainmenthas declined, so too has the richness of society. I disagree in the sense that entertainment provides society with a diversion from reality, which gives people a respite from the daily anxiety in peoples' lives.
Entertainment, defined as movies, music, video games, television, and theater, has caused the demise of society in many respects such as increased violence, increased sex and increased profanity. Violence, especially juvenile violence, has dramatically increased over the past few decades and I believe that this is a result of violence in movies, music, video games, and television. Because children tend to repeat and reenact what they see, and if...
